Why I love weekends

The freedom . . . precious freedom! :-) On weekdays, I get up at 5:30 (six if I'm really lazy) & try to get to work by 7. I leave work at 4, head home, pick up the kids at 5:00, start dinner, & help with homework. After dinner, it's bath time, laundry, dishes, & packing lunches for the next day. Basically, all of the normal mom/family tasks.

Weekends look similar, but with so much schedule flexibility! I love it. :-)

Both boys have play dates today (one is over right now - three loud boys at once! Oh my :-)), so that should be interesting. I've made chocolate chip cookies for hungry boys to snack on.

Other than that, here's what I'm hoping to accomplish today:

Make a menu plan for the next couple of weeks

Do yoga

Go for a walk or run

Do my arms workout

Run to Osh Kosh to return a pair of pants, pick up a fleece for Sam, & purchase a gift for our giving tree family.

Import all of my contacts to my new phone.

Make butternut squash soup & goat cheese crostini for dinner

Run to Costco for supplies

Review Christmas gifts, determine what I still need ( & how we're doing on the budget)

Right now, I am taking care of a very fussy 2 month old and that is taking almost all my time. Going on a lack of sleep as his tummy is bothering him badly. He goes home around 4 though, so I will get a little sewing in, then maybe sit down with hubby and go over Christmas lists, menu and grocery shopping much like you! Tomorrow is full on sewing - I have 5 orders due the Monday after Thanksgiving.
